LIST OF important WP PLUGINS

Hi

I just started my new blog in Wordpress. What plugins do you recommend to install? Please make it a list. Thanks.

 

I would recommend plugins to do (at a bare minimum) the following:

Contact Form (Cforms II)
SEO (All in one SEO Pack)
XML Sitemap (XML Sitemap)
Breadcrumbs (Breadcrumb)
Related Posts (Aizatto's related posts)
Stats (Wordpress stats)
Subscribe to Comments (subscribe to comments)

Depending on the blog, there are dozens more you could use. I list all the plugins I use (using a plugin that does that....lol) checkout the Wordpress plugins I use.

 

I use the following

All in one SEO
Contact Form 7 + Really Simple Captcha
WP Num Captcha (to block spam comments)
Google XML Sitemaps
Maxblogpress Ping Optimizer
SEO Post Plugin
Page Link Manager
Adsense Manager
Aizatto's related posts
Link Cloaking Plugin

 

I'm Using :

-All in one SEO Pack
-XML Sitemap
-Add to Any
-Related Posts
-Wordpress stats
-WP Spam Free

 

Might as well throw google analytis in there. I also like WP Spam Free (mentioned above) which has a super simple contact implementation. It's also not a bad idea to use a social bookmarking plug in.

It really depends on your theme and what you are trying to accomplish.

 

pm me your email address and I can send you all of the plugins I use in a zip file. That goes for anyone else too.

 

buy vbulletin
and use the vbulletin to wordpress bridge plugin

 

I vote for SEO Platinum Pack over all in one

 

Nice gesture, but NEVER accept a zip file from an unknown person in a forum. Just DON'T do it.....

 

Don't install too much plugins. They'll made your blog slower. I recommed 2 plugins everyone need:

All in one SEO
Google XML Sitemaps

 

As mrdo said, using many plugins may just slow down your blog, so the best ones to use -

All in one SEO Pack
Google XML sitemaps
Akismet
WP-ContactForm
Mobilepress

 

as the same as above my aditional tools is

2. Platinum SEO Plugin –

3. SEO Title tag –.

4. Add Meta tags –
5. SEO friendly Images – So far the only SEO plugin for Images,SEO friendly Images plugin helps in Wordpress images optimization which automatically updates all the images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes.And moreover this wp plugin makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.A must have plugin if you use photos/images in your blog frequently.

6. SEO slug Plugin

7. SEO smart link

 

Adsense manager
Breadcrumb
similar posts
wp super cache
stat press
language translator
all in one seo or headspace
google sitemap
google analytics
get recent comments.
contact form

 

If you use twitter you need Twitter Tools plugin

 

Akismet
All in One SEO Pack
Google Analyticator
Google XML Sitemaps
Sociable
WP-DBManager
Social bookmarking
